The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 34 - 34 34 Together in Life and Death

34: Chapter 34: Together in Life and Death 34: Chapter 34: Together in Life and Death Watching Luo Shiqi’s resolute face, Ye Shikai felt moved deep inside, but with assassins less than twenty meters away, this wasn’t the time to reenact a touching scene from Titanic.

Ye Shikai pushed Luo Shiqi aside and shut the door firmly, regardless of whether these assassins were after Luo Shiqi or himself.

As long as he could ensure Luo Shiqi’s safety, he could go all out.

Staring at the tightly closed door, Ye Shikai’s face showed a hint of cruelty, his eyes chilling to the bone.

The assassins raised their pistols, and dozens of bullets were fired at Ye Shikai in an instant.

With a light tap of his toe, Ye Shikai vanished on the spot, leaving the assassins dumbfounded and then becoming cautious.

Those who often hovered on the edge of life and death quickly realized they’d encountered a tough opponent.

A few of them grouped up, searching for Ye Shikai.

“Are you looking for me?” A cold voice sounded beside an assassin’s ear.

The assassin hurriedly swung his gun around, but suddenly, Ye Shikai extended his hand and firmly grasped the assassin’s wrist, twisted it with force, and snatched the pistol in an instant.

The other assassins almost instinctively shot at Ye Shikai, only to hit his afterimage.

Shocked, they thought, what kind of freak was this, capable of teleportation?

“Bang”—a gunshot echoed from the corner of the restaurant; an assassin fell as the bullet struck precisely between his eyebrows.

Then, gunshots rang out continuously from around the restaurant.

With each shot, an assassin fell to the ground, without exception, between the eyes.

Ye Shikai moved like the Death God, his every emergence claiming a life, while the remaining assassins grew more terrified, firing blindly, unable to see their target.

Gradually, the gunshots in the restaurant became sparse—four, three, two, one.

The last assassin stood frozen, trembling uncontrollably with a face full of fear, wishing he could flee the restaurant immediately.

The most terrifying death is not being suddenly killed, but watching death approach and nearly crumbling internally while waiting for it.

At that moment, any small disturbance could be the last straw that breaks one’s mental defense.

Ye Shikai did not shoot directly.

Killing the man would be as easy as turning his hand, but he wanted to keep a live mouth to ask who had sent these assassins.

In an instant, Ye Shikai moved behind the assassin, kicked him over, and grabbed his neck like a steel clamp, “Speak, who were you sent to kill?”

The assassin kept his lips sealed.

Ye Shikai, without hesitation, drew his pistol and shot the assassin’s thigh twice, then stepped heavily on the wound.

“Ah!” the assassin screamed like a slaughtered pig, his face turning pale, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” Eventually, overwhelmed by the pain, the assassin said weakly, “We were ordered to kill Luo Shiqi.”

“Who sent you?”

“It was…” Before the assassin could finish, a flash of light suddenly shone from outside the restaurant window.

Damn, a sniper!

Ye Shikai quickly stepped back.

“Bang”—a streak of white light pierced through the glass, hitting the assassin’s head.

Ye Shikai cursed inwardly: Damn it, these bastards, trying to silence him.

Ye Shikai looked towards the high-rise building outside the window and, as expected, the sniper had already retreated.

He was tempted to chase after him, but thinking of Luo Shiqi still inside, he dismissed the thought.

Before long, the police also arrived at the scene.

A gunfight in the commercial district of the Huaxia capital was no small matter; a large number of SWAT and fully armed riot police turned up.

Ye Shikai opened the bathroom door and Luo Shiqi leaped out, her delicate fists pummeling Ye Shikai’s chest, yelling, “Ye Shikai, you jerk!”

Luo Shiqi clung tightly to Ye Shikai’s waist, tears rolling down her face like broken pearls.

Seeing the usually cold-blooded Underground Queen show such tenderness, who knows how many jaws would drop in surprise, “It’s okay, I’m fine,” Ye Shikai gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, not expecting to have faced this life and death ordeal with her after only a few meetings.

“What about those assassins?” Luo Shiqi asked after regaining her composure.

“They’re all dead,” said Ye Shikai casually, gesturing towards the bodies strewn across the floor nearby.

Luo Shiqi was shocked; even as the Underground Queen, she had never seen anything like this—a freak who nonchalantly kills over a dozen assassins.

“We are the police, put your hands up,” just then, a team of fully-armed SWAT officers rushed in.

Upon seeing the dead assassins on the ground, their faces filled with shock and puzzlement.

“Who did this?” A lead officer approached Ye Shikai and inquired.

Ye Shikai responded with a dismissive look, “I did it.

These were all assassins, and I killed them.”

The SWAT officer was even more shocked after hearing this.

A man who could easily kill over a dozen assassins was a greater threat.

“Sir, please come with us to assist in the investigation, and this lady, please also come with us,” the officer said, glancing at Luo Shiqi beside Ye Shikai.

At the police station, Ye Shikai sat in the interrogation chair, facing two stern-faced officers.

“Name.”

“Ye Shikai.”

“Gender.”

…

“Male.”

“How did you manage to take down those assassins?”

“Obviously by snatching their guns.

Otherwise, going in bare-handed would be like asking for death, wouldn’t it?”

“The guns were in the assassins’ hands, how exactly did you snatch them?”

Ye Shikai let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, “Because…

I’m skilled.”

“You…” The officer wanted to say more but hesitated.

With a cold huff, suddenly, the door to the interrogation room was thrown open.

The two officers stood up in respect upon seeing who it was, “Captain Lin.”

“Mr.

Ye, we meet again.” Ye Shikai looked up and recognized the visitor—it was Lin Dong, whom he had met last time at Yanjing University.

“Captain Lin, your timing couldn’t be better.”

Lin Dong turned around and said loudly to the two officers, “I’ve already watched the surveillance footage.

Mr.

Ye acted bravely and intervened just in time to stop these criminals.

Release him immediately.”

Now that the captain had spoken, the two officers hurried over to unlock Ye Shikai’s cuffs, “Mr.

Ye, let me escort you out.”

“Thank you, Captain Lin,” Ye Shikai said with a faint smile.

Last time at Yanjing University, Lin Dong had noticed that Ye Shikai and Han Ruoyao had an unusual relationship, so he made sure to treat Ye Shikai with due respect.

After leaving the interrogation room, Ye Shikai saw Luo Shiqi looking at him with a resentful expression, followed by a dozen men in suits and leather shoes.

“I was actually planning to bail you out, but it seems your little lady has beaten me to it.”

Ye Shikai was confused and followed Luo Shiqi’s gaze to see a slightly petite girl smiling warmly at him.

Upon a closer look, Ye Shikai recognized her—she was the little enchantress Han Ruoyao.
